Dislike Color Mis-matched Parts

[mkgonza2]

i have recently ordered an 08' boxster. i ordered my car in guards red. i really dislike the fact that porsche does not color match the air vents on the rear quarter just forward of the rear wheel well. No matter what color you order, they are painted silver unless you have them color matched as an option for which they charge you the rediculous amount of $ 1190.00 ! My intent is to take the car down to the nearest body shop and have the vents sprayed to match. I don't want to leave my car in a body shop for a few days ; my intent is to remove the vents and take them to be repainted and then re-install them myself. This leads me to my question. Does anyone out there know how to remove the vent panels ? Are there any special tools required ? has anyone out there attempted this ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
